# Todo
# todo
## 0.2.0
## Scoring
- **43 — Give each markdown input its own reader, strict to its own standard.** Today
`markdownToAdf` reads CommonMark and the lossless flavour as one input: text shaped like a
directive, a pipe table or a `~~` pair becomes a flavour node where CommonMark reads plain text
(Goals 3 and 4). A caller names the markdown it hands in: CommonMark, read as its spec says, or
the lossless flavour, read as `spec/flavour.md` says. Breaking: `MIGRATION.md` says which call a
caller takes.
- **45 — Replace `isAdfDocument` with a reader returning `Result<AdfDocument>`.** Goal 1 has every
call return a result; the boolean guard is the one export that does not, and it cannot say which
branch refused, where `not-an-adf-document`'s message already does. Breaking: `MIGRATION.md`
shows the guard's replacement.
- **40 — Make `markdownToAdf(adfToMarkdown(doc))` deep-equal `doc` for every document it takes.**
Today it holds for editor-normal documents only: two adjacent text nodes with the same marks
merge, an empty `attrs`, `marks` or `content` drops, and `-0` reads back `0` — shapes pipelines
and bots build. Spell each so it reads back as written, CommonMark's spelling kept wherever none
occurs; the spellings are part of the chunk. `docs/decisions.md` §Equality is editor-normal,
`spec/flavour.md` and `corpus/README.md` follow, and the tests drop `toEditorNormal`.
- **6 — Specify the HTML dialect.** Element-by-element mapping, the `data-*` fidelity scheme, the
opaque-carry form, and the documented foreign-element set `htmlToAdf` accepts — the set
`markdownToAdf` shares (`spec/flavour.md` §Raw HTML in input).
The set sorts per `docs/decisions.md` §Foreign HTML sorts three ways.
- **7 — Ship HTML: `adfToHtml`, `htmlToAdf`, and `markdownToHtml` / `htmlToMarkdown` composed
through ADF.** CommonMark spec suite runs against `markdownToHtml` from here. The README's
tagline and `package.json`'s `description` regain HTML (5g).
- **31 — Make the branch figure the coverage floor is read against repeatable.** Three Node test
legs over one unchanged tree reported `emit/inline-line.ts` at 95.83%, 96.23% and 96.23%, and the
total at 98.80%, 98.84% and 98.84% (2026-09-21). `--experimental-test-coverage` counts branches
off V8's own coverage, which the runner's parallel files and V8's optimization make run-dependent,
so the number the floor is read against is not the code's alone. The floor of 98 holds today on
0.8 points of slack and `docs/decisions.md` §The coverage floors says it only ever moves upward,
so the first raise to the measured figure reddens a run that changed nothing. Make the
measurement repeatable, or state the number the floor may be raised to and why it is not the
measured one.
- **33 — Make a carried mark run cost the line one re-emit.** `adfToMarkdown` spends 23 s on one
paragraph of 2000 × `un` plus `**-r**`: each run its flanking cannot spell re-emits the whole line
before riding the carry, quadratic in the runs (Goal 8), and the plain reduction's
`spellableLine` drops one mark per re-emit the same way. Make both linear.
- **42 — Trim a text leaf's trailing blanks in linear time.** `plain-inline.ts`'s `leafEdges` finds
the trail with an unanchored `/[ \t]*$/`, quadratic in a run of blanks inside one leaf: a
paragraph of `a`, 80 000 spaces, `b` takes 6.5 s in `adfToPlainMarkdown` (Goal 8). Scan backward,
as the expand title's trim does.
- **34 — Read emphasis flanking by the whole character beside an astral symbol.** Check whether
`line-escaping.ts`'s `charAt` and the parser's flanking read one UTF-16 unit beside an astral
symbol — a lone surrogate is neither punctuation nor symbol, where CommonMark reads `😀` as
punctuation — and, where they do, read the code point, with a fixture per direction.
- **38 — Spell a lone surrogate in a text node so it survives a UTF-8 encode.** `adfToMarkdown`
emits it verbatim, so markdown stored as UTF-8 reads back U+FFFD; attribute values already escape
it.
- **5f — Publish the bundle size, after 7 changes it.** Measure the shipped artifact and put the
number in the README, kept honest by the release pipeline rather than by a human re-reading it.
The quantity is what a consumer downloads and loads: the tarball `npm pack` produces, its unpacked
`dist`, and the built JavaScript minified + gzipped — the figure the competitors advertise
(marklassian's "12kb") and the only apple-to-apple one, since ours ships tsc's unminified output
and no minifier yet (decide here whether to minify for the build or report the unminified gzip). A
publish/pipeline leg measures it and fails when the README figure drifts, so the number can't rot;
the figure lands in README §The package beside the "no runtime dependencies" claim. Measured
today, unminified: tarball 60.4 kB, unpacked 221.5 kB, JS gzipped 45.6 kB.
- **5g — Reweight the README for the reader.** It opens with the pre-launch rationale — Atlassian's
REST APIs, `pf-editor-service/convert` being decommissioned, a link to JRACLOUD-77436 — where a
shipped package should answer what it is, what it does and for whom first, then the shortest
runnable example. The background goes entirely, no endpoint, ticket or
"why" note left. The top follows the package-README order: an npm version badge and the Gitea
Actions badge, a tagline that is also `package.json`'s `description`, a feature list and a
one-line table of contents, then install and the shortest runnable example; a table of everything
exported sits near the bottom. The README documents HTML as it documents markdown, the tagline and
`description` naming both, the lossy pair, and the flavours it writes and reads by name — GitHub
Flavored Markdown's alerts and task lists, Obsidian Flavored Markdown's callouts — so a search for
either finds the package.
- **44 — Cut `AGENTS.md` §7's empty-release bullet to what the maintainer's global working loop
leaves open.** The bullet restates that loop's rule for an empty release, in a sentence
`~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` → "Prose" bans; keep only its weighing by the personas and
`docs/decisions.md`, which the global loop does not hold.
`Score = -R - S/4 + 2*A + 2*G*W`
## 0.3.0
`Bar = 9`
- **5e — Keep the release path publishing past npm's bypass-2FA token retirement.** `0.1.0`
published only once the npm token carried **Bypass 2FA**: the account requiring no 2FA on writes
was not enough, and npm answered `EOTP` until the token itself bypassed. npm retires bypass-2FA
tokens for direct publishing around January 2027, leaving them `npm stage publish`, which a
maintainer approves with 2FA; its replacement — trusted publishing over OIDC — supports
GitHub-hosted Actions, GitLab.com's shared runners and CircleCI's cloud, self-hosted runners
planned without a date. So the release path has an expiry date and no drop-in successor yet.
Revisit: whether npm has added Gitea or self-hosted OIDC, and otherwise whether the release moves
to the staged publish — which fits badly with publish-on-merge, and is the trade to weigh rather
than discover on a red release run. It stays out of `0.2.0` knowing the cutoff may land first.

the library's browser build.**

## Details
### 40. Make `markdownToAdf(adfToMarkdown(doc))` deep-equal `doc` for every document it takes.
Today it holds for editor-normal documents only: two adjacent text nodes with the same marks merge,
an empty `attrs`, `marks` or `content` drops, and `-0` reads back `0` — shapes pipelines and bots
build. Spell each so it reads back as written, CommonMark's spelling kept wherever none occurs; the
spellings are part of the chunk. `docs/decisions.md` §Equality is editor-normal, `spec/flavour.md`
and `corpus/README.md` follow, and the tests drop `toEditorNormal`.
### 7. Ship HTML: `adfToHtml`, `htmlToAdf`, and `markdownToHtml` / `htmlToMarkdown` composed through ADF.
Builds on item 6. The CommonMark spec suite runs against `markdownToHtml` from here. The README's tagline and
`package.json`'s `description` regain HTML (item 47).
### 45. Replace `isAdfDocument` with a reader returning `Result<AdfDocument>`.
Goal 1 has every call return a result; the boolean guard is the one export that does not, and it
cannot say which branch refused, where `not-an-adf-document`'s message already does. Breaking:
`MIGRATION.md` shows the guard's replacement.
### 6. Specify the HTML dialect.
Element-by-element mapping, the `data-*` fidelity scheme, the opaque-carry form, and the documented
foreign-element set `htmlToAdf` accepts — the set `markdownToAdf` shares (`spec/flavour.md` §Raw
HTML in input). The set sorts per `docs/decisions.md` §Foreign HTML sorts three ways.
### 43. Give each markdown input its own reader, strict to its own standard.
Today `markdownToAdf` reads CommonMark and the lossless flavour as one input: text shaped like a
directive, a pipe table or a `~~` pair becomes a flavour node where CommonMark reads plain text. A
caller names the markdown it hands in: CommonMark, read as its spec says, or the lossless flavour,
read as `spec/flavour.md` says. Breaking: `MIGRATION.md` says which call a caller takes.
### 38. Spell a lone surrogate in a text node so it survives a UTF-8 encode.
`adfToMarkdown` emits it verbatim, so markdown stored as UTF-8 reads back U+FFFD; attribute values
already escape it.
### 47. Open the README with what the package is, what it does and for whom.
It opens with the pre-launch rationale — Atlassian's REST APIs, `pf-editor-service/convert` being
decommissioned, a link to JRACLOUD-77436 — where a shipped package should answer what it is, what it
does and for whom first, then the shortest runnable example. The background goes entirely, no
endpoint, ticket or "why" note left. The top follows the package-README order: an npm version badge
and the Gitea Actions badge, a tagline that is also `package.json`'s `description`, a feature list
and a one-line table of contents, then install and the shortest runnable example; a table of
everything exported sits near the bottom. The README documents HTML as it documents markdown, the
tagline and `description` naming both, the lossy pair, and the flavours it writes and reads by name
— GitHub Flavored Markdown's alerts and task lists, Obsidian Flavored Markdown's callouts — so a
search for either finds the package.
### 34. Read emphasis flanking by the whole character beside an astral symbol.
Check whether `line-escaping.ts`'s `charAt` and the parser's flanking read one UTF-16 unit beside an
astral symbol — a lone surrogate is neither punctuation nor symbol, where CommonMark reads `😀` as
punctuation — and, where they do, read the code point, with a fixture per direction.
### 42. Trim a text leaf's trailing blanks in linear time.
`plain-inline.ts`'s `leafEdges` finds the trail with an unanchored `/[ \t]*$/`, quadratic in a run
of blanks inside one leaf: a paragraph of `a`, 80 000 spaces, `b` takes 6.5 s in
`adfToPlainMarkdown`. Scan backward, as the expand title's trim does.
### 31. Make the branch figure the coverage floor is read against repeatable.
Three Node test legs over one unchanged tree reported `emit/inline-line.ts` at 95.83%, 96.23% and
96.23%, and the total at 98.80%, 98.84% and 98.84% (2026-09-21). `--experimental-test-coverage`
counts branches off V8's own coverage, which the runner's parallel files and V8's optimization make
run-dependent, so the number the floor is read against is not the code's alone. The floor of 98
holds today on 0.8 points of slack and `docs/decisions.md` §The coverage floors says it only ever
moves upward, so the first raise to the measured figure reddens a run that changed nothing. Make the
measurement repeatable, or state the number the floor may be raised to and why it is not the
measured one.
### 33. Make a carried mark run cost the line one re-emit.
`adfToMarkdown` spends 23 s on one paragraph of 2000 × `un` plus `**-r**`: each run its flanking
cannot spell re-emits the whole line before riding the carry, quadratic in the runs, and the plain
reduction's `spellableLine` drops one mark per re-emit the same way. Make both linear.
### 46. Publish the bundle size in the README, failing the release pipeline when it drifts.
Lands after item 7, which changes it. The quantity is what a consumer downloads and loads: the
tarball `npm pack` produces, its unpacked `dist`, and the built JavaScript minified + gzipped — the
figure the competitors advertise (marklassian's "12kb") and the only apple-to-apple one, since ours
ships tsc's unminified output and no minifier yet (decide here whether to minify for the build or
report the unminified gzip). The figure lands in README §The package beside the "no runtime
dependencies" claim. Measured today, unminified: tarball 60.4 kB, unpacked 221.5 kB, JS gzipped
45.6 kB.
### 48. Keep the release path publishing past npm's bypass-2FA token retirement.
`0.1.0` published only once the npm token carried **Bypass 2FA**: the account requiring no 2FA on
writes was not enough, and npm answered `EOTP` until the token itself bypassed. npm retires
bypass-2FA tokens for direct publishing around January 2027, leaving them `npm stage publish`, which
a maintainer approves with 2FA; its replacement — trusted publishing over OIDC — supports
GitHub-hosted Actions, GitLab.com's shared runners and CircleCI's cloud, self-hosted runners planned
without a date. So the release path has an expiry date and no drop-in successor yet. Revisit:
whether npm has added Gitea or self-hosted OIDC, and otherwise whether the release moves to the
staged publish — which fits badly with publish-on-merge, and is the maintainer's trade to weigh
rather than discover on a red release run. It stays out of `0.2.0` knowing the cutoff may land
first.
### 8. Ship a CLI.
No goal or persona in the README covers it yet; the maintainer names both before it is built, and
they land in the README's `## Goals` and `## Audience` with it.
